A Day of Fun: Painting Tanks Pink in Pyongyang

A group of six children stand together outdoors, all wearing military-style uniforms. They are gathered around a vehicle, likely a tank, which is covered in pink paint. Each child holds a paintbrush, with several open cans of pink paint on the tank. The children are smiling and laughing, with some showing patches of paint on their faces and uniforms. In the background, there is a building with a traditional roof, along with a few other children and distant structures. The image has a vintage, sepia-toned finish with visible specks and stains, adding an aged appearance.


Dear Eun-mi,

Hi from Pyongyang! Today was so much fun—I have to tell you about it. A bunch of us kids were given brushes and cans of pink paint, and we got to paint an old tank! Can you imagine? Everyone was laughing and splashing paint everywhere, and by the time we were done, the tank was completely pink. The soldiers nearby couldn’t stop laughing when they saw it—they said it was the funniest thing they’d seen all week!

I wish you were here to help. We could have painted flowers or stars together. What are you doing these days in Chongjin? Write me back soon—I miss you!

Your cousin,
Hana
